...stood the test of time and remain firm favourites with her fans fifteen years on. The dominant theme of the album ? and the common thread that binds most of the songs together, is that of longing - a dignified, restrained and understated longing for love ? unrequited, obsessive and romantic ? and for self-awareness.
